Newborn life: Your questions answered by MAM’s midwives - prizes to be won

[LibbyMumsnet]

This Q&A is now closed. Thanks to everyone who shared a question for Midwives Angie & Zoe. You can see the answers here.

Life with a newborn can be a whirlwind - exhausting, overwhelming, and full of questions. Whether you’re running on zero sleep, figuring out the best way to feed your baby, or wondering if a dummy could be a lifesaver, you’re not alone.

MAM’s expert midwives, Zoe and Angie, will be joining us the week of 5th May to answer your questions on baby care - from newborn essentials to caring for older babies, including weaning and teething.

Post your question by 9th May for a chance to win a £100 VEX voucher. Plus, three runners-up will receive a MAM Welcome to the World Gift Set.

Got questions about…

• Infant feeding - breast, bottle, or a mix of both?
• Sleep and settling - what actually helps?
• Dummies - pros, cons, and whether they might work for your baby?

Ask away! Zoe and Angie are here to share expert advice and help you figure out what works best for you and your little one.

Thank you so much - this was a really good and helpful thread x
@LibbyMumsnet I have just seen your email from yesterday and I will respond now

@sandpiperspring - Thanks for your comment. We are very mindful of the law and the wider guidance around formula marketing and consequently don’t accept advertising for formula milk, including follow-on milk. We don't believe our partnership with MAM is at odds with supporting parents’ feeding choices, as MAM creates products that can be used by families whether breastfeeding, formula feeding, or doing both. This Q&A is clearly labelled as sponsored and in partnership with MAM, so users on the thread are aware of its commercial nature. The midwives’ answers have indeed echoed your point and reinforce the importance of seeking advice from a trained lactation consultant or health professional.

Hi @BlackWhiteCircle, thanks for your comment - we’ve checked in with the MAM team on this for you.
The glass bottles are not available on the website as MAM are currently updating the designs.
They’ve proved really popular, so they’re currently sold out online and at Boots - but you might still be able to find some in-store. They’re not available on Amazon at the moment, but you can also check Very, where some stock is still available.
Hope that helps!

Hi, it would have been useful if when I tried to contact mam help asking the same thing, someone replied stating that so I didn’t have to try and find every £20 inflated bottle on the internet. There is no information about this on your website etc, surely just a note saying new bottles on the way under the sold out ones?
